Abortion group hopeful over reforms

CALM confident laws will be modernised

The team behind proposed abortion reforms say they’re confident they will be supported by Island politicians.

Members of the House of Keys will next week be asked to consider new measures.

They include allowing women a termination up to 14 weeks into their pregnancy and up to 24 weeks if there are serious health concerns or social grounds why a baby shouldn’t be born.

Stephanie Kelsey from CALM, the Campaign for Abortion Law Modernisation, is hopeful change is around the corner.
